MONG'S TOP TV SERIES OF 2017

The year 2017 was a bit interesting for TV series in general. With the increasing popularity of streaming-only series, some popular shows over the years were losing viewers. Last year, we've seen the rise of these streaming-only series, be it critically-acclaimed or well-loved by the audience.

My rankings through the years were 90% objective and 10% subjective. I consider TV ratings and both scores from critics and viewers. And getting the popularity of these streaming-only series was a bit limited, I might devise a way next year. But for now, here are my TOP 17 STREAMING-ONLY SERIES OF 2017:
